Quiet by the River - Kerala
The name is too literal and describes the place as is. Surrounded by the Malayattor reserve forest by the Periyar River, Quiet by the River is a place to experience nature without a filter. Just reaching the places involves a 30-minute drive through the rugged forest terrain, and then a short ride in the country canoe to reach your destination.
Life at Quiet by the River offers the opportunity to enjoy a slow-paced environment, surrounded by the wilderness and observed from the independent cottages. The menu changes daily, and the chef will introduce you to the authentic and forgotten recipes of Kerala and fresh fish from the Periyar river.
Things to do
Take a country canoe to the middle of the river, and watch the sun setting behind the forest canopy, surrounded by the sounds and smell of nature.
For nature lovers, walk through the woods and nearby islands to spot the wildlife and 250 species of birds inhabiting Malayattoor.
For those who seek simple pleasures in life, look at the gazillion stars in the clear night sky, swim in the infinity pool or even take a dip in the natural pools around the lodge.
If you are a thrill-seeker, take a night walk around the island and discover the nocturnal inhabitants of the forest, like owls, civet cats and other creatures.
Kochi airport is an hour’ drive from the retreat and the airport is well connected with major cities like Delhi, Mumbai,
Chennai, Kolkata and Bangalore.
